About this listen

Mole, Rat, and Badger are Toad's dearest friends even as the aristocratic amphibian's wastrel ways get him into trouble. After being arrested and sentenced to jail, he returns to his ancestral home of Toad Hall to find it overrun with stoats and weasels from the Wild Wood. But his friends haven't abandoned him yet. In fact, they've conspired to help drive the villainous vermin from his home.

Embracing themes of empathy and friendship under the most trying conditions, The Wind in the Willows follows the journey of its anthropomorphic characters through the changing seasons of the English countryside while providing life lessons that have endured for generations.

Well Done!

I love this children's classic. It held my interest throughout. I can't wait to play it for my great niece and nephew.

Great performance and fun story.

The narration was pleasant and the story was fun which kept me engaged. I didn’t read this book when I was younger (I’m 47) so decided to catch up on some classics. Overall, I enjoyed the audio book.

A comforting read for the whole family!

A timeless classic. It was written by the author for his son (if I remember correctly), and it is definitely a children's book, but all generations can enjoy. It's such a sweet story about friendship. And of course Simon Vance absolutely brings it to life with his amazing narration!

A classic tale of childhood imagination

Eloquently written and narrated it was a joy to experience all over again. The story invokes a world of wondermentwhile rooting its animal characters in simple human behavior and attitudes. each characters of focus personification a various attributes that the listener can identify with and strive to be more like.
